  Understanding how to join a zoom meeting

 

Zoom Basics

The most common way to join a Zoom meeting that you have been invited to is through a link in an email sent by the host of the meeting. 

A link in an email will look like this:

All you have to do is tap on the blue link and the Zoom application will automatically open on your tablet. If prompted with a message saying "Complete Action using" select Zoom and click 'Always'

You will first be asked to enter your name. This is the name that everyone in the meeting will see. Enter your name where indicated and the tap “OK”.

The first time you use Zoom, you may be asked to give the Zoom application access to your microphone and camera.  This is what those screens will look like.  Tap “Got it” and “Allow” to give Zoom the permissions it needs to run on your tablet.  Again, you will probably only see these screens the first time you use Zoom on your device.

             

When you first join a meeting in Zoom you will need to Join Audio so that others in the meeting can hear you. Tap 'Call Over Internet' on the bottom left-hand corner of the screen to turn on your audio. Everyone in the meeting will now be able to hear you.

Next you will need to start your video so that others in the meeting can see you as well. Tap the “Start Video” button on the bottom left of your screen.

You will know that your video has started when you see your picture on the bottom right corner of your screen.

                         

Notice that the menu bar at the bottom of the screen will disappear after about 5 seconds. You can make it reappear by tapping anywhere on your screen. You can mute your audio and start and stop your video by tapping the “Mute” and “Stop Video” buttons in the menu bar.

Next, let's look at the "More" button.

Tapping the “More” button will bring up this menu. Notice the row of Emoji’s at
the top of the menu. In Zoom, these are called “ Reactions ”.

Reactions give us a way to nonverbally react to something someone says in a meeting. For example, if we like something that somebody says, we can tap on the "Clapping Hands" emoji. You will see that the "Clapping Hands" will appear next to your picture. It will stay there for about 5 seconds and then disappear.

                                 

Another Useful thing in the "More" menu is "Raise Hand". This is useful if you are taking a course on Zoom. You can raise your hand just like you would in a regular classroom.

When you tap the "Raise Hand" button a blue hand will appear in the instructors window indicating that you would like to ask a question.

Your hand will remain raised until either you lower it by tapping "Lower Hand" in the "More" menu or the instructor lowers it for you.

If there are more than two people in your meeting, you can switch your view to Gallery View . Notice the three dots at the bottom of your screen. This indicates that you can swipe left on your screen. This puts you in Gallery View where you can see multiple people at the same time. 

Gallery View:

To leave the meeting, tap the red “Leave” button in the upper right corner of your screen.

You will then be asked to confirm that you want to leave the meeting.  Tap “Leave Meeting” to confirm.  You may also tap “Cancel” to stay in the meeting.
